There are 8 sub-entries under&nbsp;<em>efen~<\/em>&nbsp;and 48 sub-entries under&nbsp;<em>efne~<\/em>, both of which gloss Latin&nbsp;<em>con~<\/em>&nbsp;&#8216;together&#8217;; there are 115 sub-entries under&nbsp;<em>eft~<\/em>, which glosses Latin&nbsp;<em>re~<\/em>&#8216;back again&#8217;. The forms, occurring mainly in Northumbrian glosses, can be identified in the dictionary by a swung dash (~).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Dictionary of Old English<\/em>&nbsp;provides an inventory and description of the English language from its earliest appearance in written records, ca. 600. It is intended to complement the&nbsp;<em>Oxford English Dictionary<\/em>&nbsp;for the earliest period of the language; indeed, the&nbsp;<em>Dictionary of Old English<\/em>&nbsp;will catalogue the Old English vocabulary deliberately excluded from the&nbsp;<em>OED<\/em>&nbsp;because it failed to survive past 1150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Dictionary<\/em>&nbsp;draws on as wide a range of texts &#8212; in date, dialect and genre &#8212; as possible. It differs from previous dictionaries in several important features: a listing in a simplified paradigmatic order of every spelling which is attested for a word in the Electronic Corpus; frequency counts for each word in the Corpus so that readers can know what proportion of the evidence has been cited; usage labels where they are statistically significant, noting restrictions to a class of texts, to an author, or to a particular period or dialect; exhaustive citation for all words of twelve or fewer occurrences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fascicle&nbsp;<em>E<\/em>&nbsp;was prepared by Antonette diPaolo Healey, Joan Holland, David McDougall, Ian McDougall, Nancy Speirs, Pauline Thompson, using materials assembled by the late Angus Cameron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"394\" height=\"632\" src=\"https:\/\/doe.artsci.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/ecover.gif\" alt=\"Book cover for the Dictionary of Old English: Fascicle E\" class=\"wp-image-224\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1996 &#8211; 8 fiche.
